Take the higher ground

Many times in life , one is faced with a situation where one needs to take the higher ground. However much you want to engage , say something , SILENCE IS GOLDEN. What is this higher ground? It means when one is faced by an argumentative situation ,or is faced by a dilemma where the person opposite to you does not listen to logic or to your explainations , you wish to argue and put your point forward. The best course is to be silent . How can any one argue with silence? My father sent me a text a few days ago,' Never win someone with an arguement but defeat them with your silence Because people who always want to argue with you , CAN'T bear your Silence. This holds true in every situation .It is not cowardly to retreat , it is not a sign of cowardliness or not having guts to stand up . It takes more courage to step down , hold one's silence and not say anything . To reatliate to answer back leads to an endless discussion which never ends and there is no solution . Have you seen a dog who keeps on trying to catch its tail? It goes round and round without ever catching it.

This is the same way , if you try to reason ,explain , it all falls flat on one's face like the proverbail splat of egg.By the way , I am not going to sermonise or start giving you the golden keys to eternal happines. May I be a realist,and tell you ,nothing , nobody , no book can give you peace till YOU MAKE PEACE WITH YOURSELF.

TAKE THE HIGHER GROUND, step back and see the change in yourself and suddenly the world does look to be a brighter , clearer and sharper in all the hues of the Creator.
